On one of the earlier Seinfled episodes Kramer brings back his Polar Bear Club buddies to the apartment. One of the older Jewish guys is riffing to Elaine about kangaroos. He finishes it up by saying the males have pouch envy. It cracks me up every time i see it.

Brett really reminds me of Bubba Crosby. Scrappy, speedy little lefty...who is perhaps too speedy for his own good. He popped it up, but got to 2B when the fielder dropped it. But didn't stop running, and was out at 3B.

Meanwhile, why do I have a foreboding (cue music) that Cashman is contemplating the most preliminary of chats with Pudge's agent, or maybe even flipping his rolodex idly and finding Texas popping up a lot. If Jorge cannot catch we have a very serious mess there, and at DH.

Been following the game while doing some chores around the house and it's basically been a chamber of horrors for Yankee pitching as every NY pitcher has given up runs so far. And now Montero has left with some sort of groin injury sustained on a passed ball. Ugh.

My uncle sent me this one (hope this is suitable for the site and zero offense intended to anyone..full disclosure: my Unc is a practicing Muslim but he's a bit of Krusty the Klown chracter so loves a good Muslim joke)

"A man is taking a walk in Central park in New York. Suddenly he sees a little girl being attacked by a pit bull dog . He runs over and starts fighting with the dog. He succeeds in killing the dog and saving the girl's life. A policeman who was watching the scene walks over and says: "You are a hero, tomorrow you can read it in all the newspapers: "Brave New Yorker saves the life of little girl" The man says: - "But I am not a New Yorker!" "Oh ,then it will say in newspapers in the morning: 'Brave American saves life of little girl'" – the policeman answers. "But I am not an American!" – says the man. "Oh, what are you then? " The man says: - "I am a Saudi !" The next day the newspapers says: "Islamic extremist kills innocent American dog."

"Bono from U2 is doing a concert when he quiets down the crowd, begins an impassioned speech, and starts to slowly clap, spotlight on him..`Every time I clap my hands, a young child in Africa dies..'
A voice from the crowd in thick Glaswgian-accent shouts 'well stop fookin clappin then!' "

Speaking of hilarity and Scottish things, Barkley "learns golf" tonight! For the uninitiated, Charles Barkley is to golf what Steve Sax and Chuck Knoblauch were throwing to 1B and Jason Giambi is throwing anywhere, combined!
